The pop star also collected Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Album for The Fame Monster and Best Short Form Music Video for “Bad Romance.”

The singer arrived on the red carpet in an egg to promote her new single, “Born This Way,” which broke records when it was released on Friday. She was nominated for a total of six Grammys.

Lady Gaga has just debuted her brand new single at the 53rd Grammy awards in Los Angeles. Her first all-new material for well over a year, Born This Way has been trailed by a mountain of hype and conjecture. This is par for the contemporary celebrity course. What is not, though, is the nature of the song, which is nothing less than a contemporary LGBT call-to-arms.

Elton John has recently called Born This Way “the anthem that’s going to obliterate I Will Survive” – a laudable ambition indeed for anyone who’s heartily sick of that Gloria Gaynor warhorse (which, by the way, is not an exclusively gay record). Gaga herself has been more circumspect: “It has been in my heart for over a year,” she recently tweeted, but otherwise has, sensibly, fought shy of making any grand claims. Anthems are adopted, not hyped.

Born This Way begins as it means to go on, with Gaga intoning over swelling synths: “It doesn’t matter if you love him or capital H-I-M/ Just put your paws up/ Cause you were born this way, baby.” Then the rhythm kicks in, and it’s classic um-da um-da late-disco/hi-energy, albeit with psychedelic 21st-century time-stretching production touches. It’s a big sound without being ponderous, and sticks in your head like a burr.

The lyrics are ballsy enough, certainly within the US context, to run the risk of offending the many and vociferous religious groups: ”I’m beautiful in my way/ Cause God makes no mistakes/ I’m on the right track, baby/ I was born this way.” It also makes some sharp points about the self-hatred that many gay people and outcasts of all kinds share: “Don’t hide yourself in regret/ Just love yourself and you’re set.”

It’s important to remember that Born This Way is not, of course, a self-improvement tract but a pop record, from a performer at the top of her game. Lady Gaga is the quintessential 2011 pop star: her records are a winning mixture of electro-pop with contemporary R&B touches, and her subject matter feeds into the media’s self-obsession on the nature of fame and the devouring, if not sadomasochistic, nature of 21st-century celebrity.

Lady Gaga usually shocks audiences with her wild antics and outlandish costumes but she shocked fans in a different way when she took a tumble during a performance of “Teeth.”

The misstep happened in Montreal during the first date of her Monster Ball tour. Hopefully, all the bad mojo’s out of the way and the rest of the her dates will go without incident.

Who am I kidding? This is Lady Gaga we’re talking about. Everything she does is an “incident.”
